This sort of qualifies I guess
A month or two ago one of our scientists from the Institute of Zoology walked into our library with a camera crew and asked if we minded him being interviewed. No problemo my boss replied, it was a quiet afternoon anyway, and no one else was in. They wandered off to the other end of the library and set themselves up.

A bit later one of the animal keepers came in to have a look at some pictures i had taken at the Cat Survival Trust when she had come up there with me, and as is typical of us both we proceed to lark around and generally fuck about, completely oblivious to this scientist being filmed at the other end of the room. It was only when I looked up and realized they had the camera pointing at us did I poke her and point them out that we calmed down.

It turned out they were from Greenpeace filming Doctor Alex Rogers on the damage done by deep sea dredging for a film that is going to be shown to the United Nations; quite possibly to heads of state, so with me and her, be it it out of focus, but still quite clearly larking around in the background.

It still makes me chuckle thinking about it :)
